Chapter 559 Extra Chapter: The Flood Recedes, and the Sensible Quintuplets Cause Lin Wenqian to Have a Heart Attack

Knowing that Nangong Mobai had suffered heavy losses and had little money to pay for the resettlement of the disaster victims, Lin Luoxi generously brought out several dozen gold and silver ingots from the cabin.

They even thoughtfully prepared several sacks of copper coins, just in case gold and silver couldn't be found during famine years, copper coins would be more suitable.

"I'm being so generous because you're my brother-in-law."

"I'll ask Xiao Jingchen for reimbursement once I've received the money."

Lin Luoxi was worried that Nangong Mobai would feel pressured, so she specifically said that she would ask Xiao Jingchen for reimbursement.

"Second sister, thank you so much." Looking at the room full of money, Nangong Mobai almost knelt down before Lin Luoxi.

The imperial court was slow to allocate funds, and the disaster victims had no money to go back and rebuild their homes, which put him in a very difficult situation.

Unexpectedly, Lin Luoxi paid the money without saying a word.

If Lingnan hadn't been flooded, he could have taken it out, but now he's penniless!

Don't say that even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; even a penny can stump a strong man!

"We're all family, let's not stand on ceremony, let's hurry up and get ready!" Lin Luoxi knew that no one had an easy time during a year of disaster, and the gold mountain in her space was meant to save these disaster victims, so she felt it was inappropriate to accept Nangong Mobai's favor.

With money, everything sped up. Led by the officials, the villagers in the low-lying areas found a mountain of moderate height and began clearing land and building houses, working with great enthusiasm.

I've been in Lingnan for almost a month now, and I've almost finished everything.

As Nangong Mobai's condition gradually improved, Lin Luoxi, still worried about Quanzhou, left enough silver and immediately returned to Quanzhou with Xie Hanchuan.

Compared to Lingnan, Quanzhou is located at a higher altitude, so the disaster-stricken areas were not as severely affected, but there are still disaster victims who need to rebuild their homes.

Those families whose homes were not affected by the disaster, along with their young able-bodied members, all went to the disaster area to build houses and earn money.

Seeing that everyone's lives had returned to normal, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan invited Lin Wenqian, Lin Wenjin, and Yang Xiaofeng to rest at the villa where they were temporarily staying.

"I haven't seen my nephews in a long time, I want to go see them..." Mainly because my nephews have all grown up now, and they cook delicious meals.

Having spent so much time in Quanzhou, busy with rescue efforts and arranging accommodations every day, they were so busy they barely had time to breathe. They ate whatever they could find, and he felt that they had all become incredibly thin.

"Just say you're craving their braised pig's trotters and their steamed crabs, that's all," Lin Wenjin said, seeing the craving in Lin Wenqian's eyes and directly exposing his lie.

"Haha, I have them all, I have them all, aren't you tempted?" Lin Wenqian, who had his secret exposed, was not angry. He laughed for a while and asked Lin Wenjin directly.

"I'm so hungry, you wouldn't believe it, it's those delicious braised pig's trotters that keep me going."

"I was thinking, even if Luo Xi didn't ask us to go back together, I'd still shamelessly go along, haha..."

During those difficult days of disaster relief, the only thing that kept us going was well-braised pig's trotters. Not only did Lin Wenqian miss them, but he missed them terribly too.

"Haha..." On the way, everyone who heard Lin Wenqian and Lin Wenjin's conversation burst into laughter.

"Big brother, Jin-ge, what kind of person do you two take me for? How could I not call you back?" Riding in front, he heard Lin Wenqian and Lin Wenjin's conversation and immediately became unhappy.

"Haha, we were just joking, just joking." Realizing they had said the wrong thing, Lin Wenqian and Lin Wenjin immediately lowered their heads and admitted their mistake for the sake of a bite to eat.

"Father, Mother, is that you back?" Xie Zhili's children, who had been eagerly waiting at home for more than a month, asked tentatively upon hearing the commotion outside the courtyard gate.

"Yes, boss, open the door! Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law Jin, Uncle Xiaofeng is here too!" Lin Luoxi immediately answered Xie Zhili loudly upon hearing his words.

"Okay!" Upon hearing that it was Lin Luoxi, the quintuplets rushed to the courtyard gate like the wind and quickly opened it.

Seeing Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan followed by a group of people, Xie Zhili and the other children were stunned for a moment, then their faces immediately lit up with warm smiles as they welcomed everyone inside.

"Second sister, Zhili and the others have been taught very well by you." Lin Wenqian looked at Xie Zhili's five children, who were generous, polite, and had confidence in their eyes, and he was envious.

His two children are about the same age as Lin Luoxi's children, but they still lack some social skills.

"Big brother, actually, we didn't really discipline the children much; they're just quite self-disciplined!" Lin Luoxi felt guilty when it came to disciplining the children.

Since having children, I've been constantly running around and haven't been able to put in any effort in disciplining them; it's all thanks to the children's good upbringing.

"Oh!" Lin Ruoxi's words made Li Wenqian even more envious of his sensible nephews and nieces.

His two sons are like mischievous monkeys; if you don't discipline them for a day, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles.

His once gentle and tender wife has now turned into a fiery temper, ready to explode at the slightest provocation.

He dared not go home every time he checked the two boys' homework, fearing that he would also be implicated.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, your brother-in-law is craving your cooking. How about you show off your skills to your uncles today..."

Back home, Lin Luoxi immediately slumped onto a stool and told Xie Zhili and the others about the main purpose of Lin Wenqian and his group's visit.

“Okay, that’s fine, but, Mother, we’re out of ingredients.” Xie Zhili looked at Lin Luoxi with a troubled expression.

“Mother, you’ve been gone for more than a month. All the food and supplies at home have been gone. We’ve been eating bread and steamed buns for the past two days.”

"If you don't come back soon, we'll all turn into steamed buns!" Steamed buns are delicious, but eating only steamed buns without any other side dishes will drive us crazy.

"Oh, I forgot." When she left earlier, the children used so many ingredients to make it, and she was in such a hurry that she forgot to make up for it for them.

"I'll go prepare right away!" Lin Luoxi said, then went to the granary next to the kitchen for a while.

When she came out again, she nodded slightly to Xie Zhili and the others.

With the ingredients in hand, Xie Zhili and his friends were full of energy. The five children tied on scarves and marched proudly into the kitchen.

Xie Leyao went back to her old ways, carrying out a 300-pound pig under the shocked gazes of Lin Wenqian, Lin Wenjin, Yang Xiaofeng, and a group of armed guards.

"Little Yao Yao, we're here to help you!" Seeing Xie Le Yao carrying out a pig twice the size of herself, Lin Wenqian, Lin Wenjin, Yang Xiaofeng, and the others couldn't sit still and quickly ran over to help.

"Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Uncle Jin, thank you, Uncle Shi, thank you, all the uncles..." Xie Leyao almost couldn't breathe just from saying thank you.
